haha latin did not teach me to read threads before posting obviously

We used Cambridge Latin Course textbooks (I had to google the names of the people to figure that out - Caecilius, Metella, Grumio etc). I dropped it at 13, didn't want to do GCSE.

i did not study it but acquired those later, i wondered how they ever got through any high school classroom without hours of ppl going "SEXtus? snort"

gaius more like GAYus amirite

if it was good enough for monty python...

Day 1: Kennedy's Latin Primer. I've had this copy since I was a teenager and still teach with it today. Despite being published under Benjamin Kennedy's name, it was secretly written by his daughters, Marion and Julia. See Stray 1996 https://t.co/eon4yNYMdW pic.twitter.com/Z1mlw81ykh

so the iconic Molesworth image of Kennedy hunting some grammar is a LIE

the daughters wrote the revised primer of blessed memory but BHK had previously hunted down the grammar for an elementary primer
